"Alice The Goon" was a single-sided LP originally released on White Noise label for the Festival Ultimes Musiques, May 1995. On its original three tracks, Nurse With Wound stretched a single bad dream into half an hour of delirium: queasy not quite easy listening that mutated from lounge lilt to industrial throb, like a Popeye cartoon left to rot in a dripping underground cinema.

"Alice The Goon" sits in NWW's catalogue like a particularly vivid hallucination A miniature suite that twists the very idea of background music into something sly, menacing and oddly seductive. Personnel and production add to the record's peculiar charge.

Stapleton is joined by long-time conspirators (including Diana Rogerson, Peat Bog, Michael Dawson and Elephant in various incarnations across editions), with everything produced and mixed in classic NWW fashion: hands-on, collage-driven, unconcerned with genre boundaries. Too structured to be pure noise, too disfigured to be ambient, too slyly humorous to sit comfortably as "industrial". Instead, it occupies that characteristically NWW zone where reference points - easy listening, cartoon scores, avantgarde tape music, occult ritual - are all present but never settle into a single frame.

This expanded edition contains several unique mixes by Colin Potter (Ora, Monos), Andrew Liles, Matt Waldron (irr. app. (ext.)), Diarmuid MacDiarmada, Señor Coconut and various unreleased material from the original sessions.

Presented in a deluxe 8-panel double digipak, featuring the original release art, alongside older renditions by Babs Santini.
